Chubb, who spent seven seasons with the Cleveland Browns, will now join forces with Joe Mixon, creating a formidable rushing attack for the AFC South champions.
The Houston Texans signed Nick Chubb, a star running back who used to play for the Cleveland Browns, on Monday.
This is a big move that will help their already strong offense. The four-time Pro Bowl pick Chubb gives Houston's backfield a strong running game.
In Chubb's last two seasons with Cleveland, injuries slowed him down. He hurt his left knee in Week 2 of the 2023 season against Pittsburgh, which kept him out until Week 7 of the 2024 season. 1. He came back and played in eight games before breaking his foot. He finished the 2024 season with 332 rushing yards and four scores.
The running back, who is 29 years old, will join a dynamic squad that already has Joe Mixon. Mixon, who has been to two Pro Bowls, made a big difference in his first season with the Houston Texans by running for 1,016 yards. He had previously spent seven years with the Cincinnati Bengals. The Texans had a good season in 2024. With a 10–7 record, they won the AFC South division title, but they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Chubb has run for an amazing 6,843 yards since the Browns picked him up in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Only Hall of Famers Jim Brown (12,312 yards) and Leroy Kelly (7,274 yards) have run for more yards for the Browns more than he has.
Twenty-two years ago, he had his best season. He ran for 1,525 yards and 12 scores. Chubb has had a great career, averaging 5.1 yards per run over seven seasons. This shows how efficient and quick he is when he is healthy. His addition is likely to make the Texans' run game a lot better.
